i think we're approaching the https moment for blockchain
encrypted balances, private transactions, confidential smart contracts, even computation on encrypted data
fhe is starting to turn these ideas into usable infrastructure.
octra is exploring how far that can go
privacy by default feels like a natural next step for the internet
four steps to decentralization

mini-activation roadmap (during the day for the next epochs):
0 - rpc shutdown (and preparation of a 2+ hour window)
1 - snapshot of the state (of both networks, mainnet and devnet), the snapshot hash will be available separately,
2 - sequential activation on foundation nodes (we will launch a planned merge on our nodes and wait for all rules to activate on the mainnet, this is done to ensure all rules are in place and properly debugged),
3 - monitoring the progress of epochs, after 1000 epochs, a public set of configs for connecting external validators is published (the mainnet becomes uncontrolled, validator participants contribute bonds and begin participating in the treechain).
we ran several test runs over the weekend and confirmed everything was fine, so we're starting the process step by step, we'll publish info about the activation window shortly (this could be considered the snapshot time), everything was boiled down to a few simple steps, and we don't expect any significant issues today.
the reward model will be published separately, as the mainnet differs significantly in supply and reward formation, as well as the OU fees for ops carried out.
** all rewards earned by validators in the devnet for the entire period will be available to them in the main net (every bit processed will be counted and fairly determined)
thanks everyone.

octra weekly recap 🔵
→ octra now has a security policy: found a bug in webcli or lite_node? there's an official way to report it
→ webcli 0.06.01-alpha: stronger security, plus a local API key for your own tools
→ mainnet is in final prep. permissionless access is planned, exact time unknown
which language you want us to use next week?
let us know in the comments
octra weekly recap 🔵
→ the encrypted math playground (sandbox.octra.org) now runs pvac v7, the same version that's in lite_node
→ do math on numbers while they stay encrypted, right in a browser tab. no wallet, no node
→ not shipped yet: a prototype for octra as a privacy layer for other networks or apps
quiet week but big news

intermittent scanner and Rpc outages are expected today due to final preparations which will last until 11 pm utc – at London, England
its time to update the mainnet and release it in the form it was originally planned, the very first vision is probably the only correct one
special thanks to all the validators and participants who supported the devnet and continue to do so - now it's time for the mainnet, permission less access is planned for tomorrow/the day after (the exact time is unknown, any second now)
everything needed to run a mainnet node will be available in a separate release, thanks everyone

exploring some new formats
here’s the latest update in octra’s webcli
what do you think?

fun fact: octra runs LLM inference in Q24 fixed point, so every node gets the same bits and the output can be checked by consensus

hi everyone, webcli has been updated, a lot has been done, we're counting it as version 0.06.01-alpha.
the cryptographic surface has been strengthened, as has security (this doesn't mean we've closed everything; we're working on it and it's far from finished),
anyone working with the dev net and planning to interact with the mainnet should update and test FHE ops on the devnet (this is perhaps one of the most important parts), working with circles, and more, we've also added access via an API key to automate some processes and make it easier if you're building a tool for some reason, access to the key is in the "settings" tab, so pass the key in the request header of your app - "Authorization: Bearer <api key>"
fyi: : webcli must be running, the api is only available on your puter, kep the key private.
webcli should be rebuilt, and also importantly - please keep a previous copy of webcli src in close access to your hands for some compatibility tasks (this will potentially be necessary).
thanks everyone.

octra weekly recap 🔵
→ node update: fixed an old bug where one round could get processed twice
→ OPD: a public log of every protocol change and why. anyone can propose
→ formal proof that everyone's copy stays in sync after every write
→ devnet: encrypt, decrypt, stealth transfers and claims all switched on. hfhe proof runs in the vm
→ alex's loops caught a serious devnet bug on day one, mainnet impact zero
→ loops won its first bounty from the ethereum foundation: $1,000

We've added a security policy and enabled GHSA for core repos (currently webcli and lite_node).
All reports go through our Loops pipeline and are transparently mapped to existing timestamped records as shown.
Genuinely new findings may be rewarded if proven useful and reachable.

privacy-preserving computation has real infra applications beyond hiding balances and transactions
crypto needs systems where a single compromised machine, employee, or service has limited access to sensitive data and control over critical operations
this is where technologies like fhe and hfhe become increasingly relevant
the future of crypto security is about making the entire infra more resilient, from how data is processed to how trust is distributed
days like these, you can only be glad about your nerves and peace of mind, cuz you don't have 5-6 figs
being broke is the new rich 🙏

new lambda post 🎉
were quietly finishing up the prototype for octra to work as a priv layer for other networks or apps, test cryptographic proofs and verification took a couple of days (gpu process of building proofs), so we're expecting a couple of updates today. wanted to get definitive confirmation.
